Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Renovation starting at Valley Fair mall
Deseret News, 26 March 1986, page B7
A $5 million renovation project on Valley Fair shopping mall is under way, with site preparations for construction of a food court and expansion of the mall's movie theater complex.
Construction preparations began Monday, said Richard Flack, general manager of the 16-year-old shopping center owned by Winmar Company Inc.
The food court will provide space for 14 vendors of international cuisine and a 350-seat eating area.
Six new theaters will be added to the existing four theater movie complex, a Winmar spokesman said.
